The success of a movie does not depend only on the star cast; rather it is the outcome of the efforts of numerous people. In fact, the people behind the camera matter almost as much as those in front. Talking about behind the screen, many people are associated with the making of a movie. Amongst them is the director, who is like a charioteer, directing things in the right path. It is under his direction and guidance that a movie is made. The immense toil and pressure that a director undergoes for making a blockbuster movie cannot be ignored. Filmfare Award, introduced by the Filmfare magazine in 1953, is the platform that recognizes such potential and acknowledges it in a majestic way, by giving the 'Filmfare Best Director Award' every year. Read on to explore a list of directors who have won the Best Director Award since the past couple of years.
